Cocktail No 25 Maiden

Made with freshly squeezed orange and lemon juice, this is a very fine and clean drink, The acidity of the 2 citrus fruits balances the sharpness of the gin perfectly. Initially it orangey gin and then the lemon juice hits the roof of the mouth in a bitter-sweet sensation due to the Cointreau.

Yet another of those cocktails that has multiple taste sensations as it goes down the hatch.

Make sure it is really cold for that first mouthful. Quite delicious.

Recipe

Add one measure of Orange Juice to a shaker with 3/4 measure of Gin, 3/4 measure of Cointreau and 1/2 measure of Lemon Juice. Shake on ie and strain into a large Cocktail glass.
